‘Dog with human face’ captures human hearts

Tonik, a dog up for adoption on petfinder.com, has found his face plastered all over the internet. That’s because his face looks less canine and more homosapien.

Tonik is a poodle-shih tzu mix rescued from a kill shelter in Kentucky, now up for adoption in Mishawaka, Ind. His Petfinder description says “there is a very sweet boy in there who is trying to figure things out and enjoy people. It seems he has not had too much socialization.”

He gained fame when severalsites wrote about him recently. Safe bet: He probably won’t be without a home much longer. After all, many people will see themselves in this dog.
